Basic Tips and Examples — Keyword Search

Most likely, you'll want to perform a Keyword Search. The Keyword Search looks through titles, subtitles, various notes, author names (first and last), and a number of other fields. You'll be presented with the list of items that match all of the words you entered. Word order and letter case do not matter.

Search commands, such as "AND", "OR", or surrounding phrases in double quotes, are not supported. (More advanced options are available by clicking "More Search Options".)

To perform a Keyword Search, simply type a word, words, or phrases into the "Search" blank at the top of the screen. Then either push the Enter key on your keyboard, or click the Go button on your screen.
